What the winning entry actually looked like — which the award notice never says.
The award notice a week earlier named the winner and the rule — at least five varieties, judged on artistic arrangement — and said nothing about the flowers. This weekly account supplies them.
Across thirty-five years of this trophy the archive holds only three descriptions of a winning entry: pink hollyhocks in 1920, plants in dulled colours in a concentrated grouping in 1943, and bronze chrysanthemums with brown shamrock in 1947.
From the source
During the afternoon and evening of the show special attention was drawn to the display winning the Emblem club cup. It consisted of an attractive arrangement of pink hollyhocks and other flowers and called forth much favorable comment.
